Inspired by Christ's call to serve, our mission is to provide service to those in need, to advocate for justice and to call upon others to do the same. Our vision is to improve the lives of those we serve, to empower the most vulnerable, and to help reduce poverty through quality, compassionate, and effective human services.

Description

Catholic Charities mission to "provide service to those in need, to advocate for justice and to call upon others to do the same" has been the core of our work since 1920. We measurably improve the lives of the poor in our communities and empower them to reach their full potential. When we accomplish this, lives are transformed and the benefits to the community can be exponential starting by improving the quality of life one person at a time.

With an outpouring of support from the community, we are able to help the poorest among us.

My contact with Catholic Charities has been through the Adult Day Center in Milwaukee. I think that it is very well run. The clients have a social club atmosphere, and not at all a "holding tank for the day" situation. I enjoy working with the clients.

I've been volunteering weekly at the Adult Care Center for over two years since my retirement. This is truly a place of love and support for those in need. It's been a rewarding experience for me to establish new friendships and witness the compassionate work the staff provides.

I've been volunteering at the Catholic Charities Day Program for about 2.5 years now, and I love the Friday mornings that I spend there. Staff and participants truly make me feel welcome and part of the team. I do crafts with the folks there, and while we all really love the crafts, it's more the chatting and laughter and comradery that keeps me coming back.

I've volunteered as an English at Home Tutor for the past 10 months and thoroughly enjoyed my time with my learner. I look forward to my weekly visits as she has become a friend. She and her family are wonderful people and it's been a pleasure helping her improve her conversational English so she can participate more in everyday life outside the home.
